Ever been hit

When I lived in Northern Ireland in the 90,s I was arrested outside my local for fighting I had an RUC Officer either side of me both had arm bars on me I was bent over and another one marched across the road and kicked me full force in the face braking a tooth in half to this day I’m 45 now my dad has never been told.
I took it on the chin per say lol. Lesson learned.

Yup. At West Brom at the last game of the season in 1982 and was swinging on the fence during a riot. Cops went with a baton charge and pulled me to the ground, then proceeded to kick me whilst on the ground as hard as they could.
Had huge bruising around the back of the legs,arse and lower back and should really have gone to hospital the next day, and it took weeks to get over.

Lesson learned and from that day never caused a problem at a football match again.
 
I the old Kop on a regular basis, Mad Screw was the usual offender, I've felt his leather glove cuff me many times, mind you it was better than being arrested. 🤔
 
Sat on the steps outside the old south waiting for the gates to open for last 20mins in the mid 80’s, Doncaster fans came running around from the Scratching sheds with blades heading towards me, I stayed sat thinking they don’t want me, as they got nearer thought I had better leg it, at this moment police vans alarms blaring arrive and the Donny fans disappeared. Phew I thought as I walked back only to be set on by the coppers truncheons flying, bust my nose. Bloodied I tried to explain I didn’t pick a fight with a gang of knived up lads, was told to go over bridge and away from ground, I was stopping on St Heliers at the time so tried to head that way, got twatted again and had to go over bridge. Did not dare tell my mum it was the police said I’d been jumped by some lads.
 
Got smacked a couple of times by a copper at Stockport in the tunnel and thrown out after provoking a policeman with his dog when they came on the pitch to stop us fighting. As Raging says it was better than being arrested 😀
